The short answer
What is temp mail?
Temp mail is a free, disposable email address you use instead of your real one. It is ready the moment you open the page, receives emails in real time and deletes itself when it expires, so sign-ups, downloads and Wi-Fi logins never reach your personal inbox.
People also call it a temporary email, disposable email, burner email or 10 minute mail. Use it anywhere you would rather not hand over your real address. Keep your real email for banking, work and anything you may need to recover later.

More ways to use a temporary email

- Disposable emailUse a disposable email address anywhere you would rather not share your real one. It is created instantly, receives mail in real time and deletes every message on its own.
- Fake email generatorGenerate a random email address that is not tied to your name but does receive mail. Use it to test a form, grab a download or keep your real inbox off a marketing list.

Privacy
Private by design, not by promise
Disposable only helps if the inbox itself does not leak. Every part of the reader is built to give senders nothing back.
Read the privacy policyTracking pixels blocked
Remote images stay off until you choose to load them, so senders cannot see when you open a message.
Sandboxed reading
Email HTML is cleaned and shown in an isolated frame. Scripts and forms never run.
Private by token
Only the browser that created an inbox holds its key. There is no shared public mailbox to browse.
Nothing lingers
Messages and attachments are deleted automatically when they expire.
